Rmpr 8,977 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Santos just turned down a 25mi offer from Barcelona (after rejecting their initial 18mi offer a few days ago) in a meeting they had today. Total wankers, do they think they are going to get more for a player in his last year of contract? Neymar's investment group representative seemed very angry with the rejected bid when he was interviewed after leaving Neymar's (father) house...

nono 791 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hahaha the joke is on Santos! Remember when we were offering them a lot more for him and they rejected it ? All they did now was to pay him massive wages for him to leave for much less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goemaere 131 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 That much is obvious. Ronaldo is actually a pretty average footballer. His passing is poor and he's not really a possession player, more of a great counter-attacking talent. Great goalscorer but he's an average footballer really.Yes and Zidane was too slow to be decent midfielder and Maradona could head a ball. To call Ronaldo an average footballer is madness.

nono 791 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 He must be absolutely set on going to Barcelona if no other club is in the race despite such a low bid. Otherwise we would be in the race since we were willing to pay much more for him before. Plus there is also a huge Brazilian contingent here. Ramires, Luiz and Oscar would surely help him transition to life in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to see if any higher bids will come to the table!ESPN BR reported that Manchester City would be studying to make a bid of around 30mi (which is what Santos wants) to lure Neymar. However, Neymar isn't keen on going to England, let alone for City... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediator 2,026 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 we should push up to 40M for him. Great potential. Even if he is overrated right now, he will be great in future no doubt about that.Would be cool for the image of the club "they could sign Neymar at Barca's face", He would sell a lot of shirts, that's a good business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Neymar want to go to barcaWhy exactly?I know Barcelona had some pretty great Brazilian footballers recently, but you would have to think the fact his buddy/mentor Robinho was a Madrid guy would weigh more heavy on him.

But...Do we need Neymar when we have Hazard? I dont think so!The same goes for Real, will he have space in the same position CR7 plays? Not really!

I dont think so!The same goes for Real, will he have space in the same position CR7 plays? Not really!But there are some players who are just so good (like once or twice in a generation of players) that you simply have to go for regardless of the existing squad - and I believe Neymar and Hazard to be tactically flexible enough, since they are so intelligent! Here's hoping he does a Robinho with Barca and signs with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dion 2,476 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I don't think Neymar will move anywhere before Confederations Cup. Santos and investors are hoping he will perform well and increase his value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rmpr 8,977 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Barcelona's vice-president of football is having a meeting with Santos' president since 4pm (it is now 7:30pm). It is rumoured that this will be it, he will either go now or the negociations are over until January (where he will be able to sign for free). Santos want 30mi and Barcelona only want to pay 25mi (at maximum). However, they might throw a 26.5mi or whatever, so Santos can say they 'won' the negociation (because we know how egos behave). You have no idea how happy I would be to see this thread locked and you kissing his ass in one or two years time!!! UPDATE: Barcelona have offered a two leg friendly to complement the 25mi euros and Santos seemed to have reacted absurdly positive about it. Globo saying it is pratically a done deal and they have created a timeline in their website, with live updates to try to be the first to announce it (just like SkySports do on transfer deadline day)!
